Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!  McDoob AU93  04:39, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

August 2013
Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to List of Virtual Console games for Wii (North America), but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. ''Saying "I own this and it's not there" does not provide adequate verifiability for the purposes of a Wikipedia edit. In order to back this up, you must provide a reliable source; such sources do not include forum posts or posts where readers say they can't find it. Such conditions could be temporary. Suggesting they were removed for licensing issues is either speculation, or you indeed have access to a reliable source. --''  McDoob AU93  03:01, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

September 2013
Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to List of Virtual Console games for Wii (North America). This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. ''Again, you're using forum posts to back up your edits. Discussion forums have been deemed unreliable sources for edits on Wikipedia. Please discuss further changes on the talk page. thank you. --''  McDoob AU93  17:29, 3 September 2013 (UTC)


 * None of this is being done personally ... if this has truly occurred, why has not one of these sites contacted Nintendo to get information from them? All we're looking for here is a source that says, basically, "We noticed that the Commodore 64 library has been removed from Virtual Console. We reached out to Nintendo for a statement, and below is their response. 'Due to (lack of interest, license expiration, etc.), we have indeed removed the Commodore 64 games from Virtual Console.'" THAT would be a source that could be used for a basis for the edit. Since NOBODY has done that yet—and I've looked; every single hit I find on Bing, Google, etc. is a forum discussion—we can wait until someone does. After all, there is no deadline. -- McDoob  AU93  17:36, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for this series of edits. You provided just what I was looking for, a source to back up the change. There's no need for me to change it since it is now reasonably sourced, considering the relative lack of coverage for the subject in gaming media now. The burden of proof for any change is on the editor making said change, so adding information and expecting other users to do one's homework is discouraged. Thank you for doing the anon IP's homework for them, just the same. -- McDoob AU93  12:41, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#DavidTParchem. World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion (talk) 14:50, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
 * See Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. You are risking a block due to constantly posting about an upcoming Genesis wrestling event for which no sources exist. Most recently you predict it will happen on January 19, 2016 though nothing to confirm that can be seen on the web. There may still be time for you to respond to the complaint. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 02:51, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
